This Thursday marks the celebrations of the Queens official 90th Birthday and what better way to celebrate than with cake?

With Great British Bake Off champion Nadiya Hussain tasked with baking the official 90th Birthday cake, it’s been revealed she’ll be serving up an orange drizzle with orange curd and orange buttercream. We don’t know about you but all the BAKO NW team can’t wait to see the finished cake.

With this in mind, we thought we’d take a look at some bakes that could make a royal appearance on your menus to celebrate.

Queen of hearts jam tarts

Jam tarts are a quintessential British teatime treat, so what better to take pride of place on your afternoon tea stands this week than a Queen of hearts jam tart? Whether you opt for a large jam tart or individual bitesize ones, don’t forget to top with crisp short crust pastry hearts. Why not experiment with different assorted fruit jams and curds?

Traditional Victoria sponge

A much loved English favourite, you can’t beat a traditional Victoria sponge. Perfect for any occasion, turn this bake into a real showpiece on your counter and layer it multiple tiers high. Sandwiched with fresh cream and adorned with fresh strawberries this age old classic is sure to tempt your customers for years to come.

What could be better to decorate this bake than some British bunting?

Or why not create a Union Jack design using fresh fruits on top? Try alternating flavours of jam between the layers to continue the Union jack theme throughout.

Prinsesstårta

We couldn’t think of a more appropriate time to add this Swedish classic to your menus than to celebrate the Queen’s birthday. A princess cake is traditionally a layer cake or torte consisting of layers of airy sponge, custard, jam and a mound of whipped cream, before being topped with bright green marzipan and a single sugar paste rose.

Queen of pudding cupcakes

Traditionally served as a large pudding the Queen of puddings is made up of a layer of breadcrumb-thickened cake, jam, seasonal fruits and topped with a crown of chewy meringue.

Over the years there has been many variations, however the idea of a Queen of pudding cupcake has to be our favourite. Filled with strawberry jam and topped with light meringue peaks, these cupcakes are fit for your royal customers.

If you’ll be adding any royal bakes to your menu this week to join in the Queens celebrations we’d love to see them on our Twitter!
